I know that X4 isn't supposed to work with Windows 10 and I have run across some minor glitches (mostly cosmetic) until now. I have a number of drawings I have done over the years and occasionally I like to post them to relevant discussion forums on the Internet (one of which I administer) . In the past (when I was on Win 7) I would export the cdr to a transparent .png. Worked fine.
But since migrating to Win 10, I can no longer get a transparent background when i export to png. White is the default background and when I choose white to be transparent, everything seems as it should be and has been. But the result is not transparent at all the white background is still there.
Is ther a work around, an updated p.ng filter or any way to get a transparent background from CorelDraw X4 on Windows 10?
DW said:But I have hundreds and hundreds, and years and years of drawings (most made in CorelDraw x4 albeit in Windows 7) that do not want to export to a transparent png.
Perhaps you could share a few of those drawings that won't export to transparent PNG? Some of us might be interested in looking at them to see if we can find the reason.
You could put them somewhere on-line and share a link. Or, perhaps put them in a .ZIP file and include them in a post here on the forum.
Yes, I could probably do something like that. Might need a day or so...
And FWIW, copy & paste into a new file doesn't help, either. Nor can I import the cdr. into photopaint or copy and paste into Paint.net.
Nothing seems to be able to break the white background.
If people can't actually look at a file in CorelDRAW, that really limits the ways in which they might assist you in troubleshooting problems with that file.
You could even simply change the extension of the filename from .cdr to .zip in order to be able to include the file in a post here on the forum.
How do I post a zip file / folder here?
You can use "Insert" in the editor.
To get to this:
and then you can have the file show up in your post.
insert file.zip
